The confidence of the Cure and the Seigneur was restored. The prohibition against strangers had had its effect, and for three whole days the valley had been at rest again. Apparently there was not a stranger within its borders, save the Seigneur's brother, the Abbe Rossignol, who had come to see the moving spectacle.
It shone in the moonlight, moving slowly, for there was so little wind. Her husband must be there. She turned to say so to Le Rossignol; who was gone. Antonia opened the gate and stepped outside, looking in every direction for dwarf and swan. She had not even noticed a rustle, or the pat of Shubenacadie's feet upon sand.
They were, however, still formidable; and the republicans, who pursued them, were again beaten in La Vendee. General Biron, who had succeeded general Berruyer, unsuccessfully continued the war with small bodies of troops; his moderation and defective system of attack caused him to be replaced by Canclaux and Rossignol, who were not more fortunate than he.
"As well as an oar," said I, "and perhaps a little grain better; for I haven't been down all the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia rivers in 'em for nothing, let alone Lake Michigan, George, Madawaska, and Rossignol, and I don't know how many others. Step in, and let us have at them on the water." In a minute the canoe was launched, and away we flew like lightning.
You shall Thibaut Rossignol; delightful name, isn't it? And one of the most delightful of men, though only a servant, and the son of a village shopkeeper. It begins fifteen years ago, just after the Franco-Prussian War. My father was taking a holiday in eastern France, and he came one day to a village where an epidemic of typhoid was raging. Tant mieux! Something to do; some help to be given.
He had enraged the Abbe as much as he had delighted the Abbe's brother; for nothing gave the Seigneur such pleasure as the discomfiture of the Abbe Rossignol, chaplain and ordinary to the Archbishop of Quebec. The genial, sympathetic nature of the Seigneur could not even be patient with the excessive piety of the churchman, who, in rigid righteousness, had thrashed him cruelly as a boy.
"She would have me ride to D'Aulnay's camp and bring her word how many men have fallen there to-day." Zélie shivered through her indignation. "Do you tell me such a tale, when you were shut in the turret for that very sin?" "Sin that is sin in peace is virtue in war," responded Le Rossignol. "Mount, Shubenacadie." "My lady will have his neck, wrung," threatened Zélie. "She dare not.
If you knew my father but you will understand. He offered his services to the overworked couple of doctors and was welcomed. He fought the typhoid day and night if you knew my father! Well, there was a bad case in a family named Rossignol: a boy of twelve.
Le Rossignol esteemed the military dignity given to her imprisonment, and she was a hardy midget who could bear untold exposure when wandering at her own will. She therefore received with disgust her lady's summons to come down long before the day was spent, the messenger being only Zélie.
"Yet there she sits now, hour after hour, day after day so changed." "She has lost her father," urged M. Rossignol anxiously. "I know the grief of children this is not such a grief. There is something more. But I cannot ask. If she were a sinner but she is without fault. Have we not watched her grow up here, mirthful, brave, pure-souled " "Fitted for any station," interposed the Seigneur huskily.
